Mega Cebu continues its strides in the Local Government Unit (LGU) level by closing the year with high hopes for the future. On December 7, the Mega Cebu Focal Team and Purok Coordinators held its year-end review and planning session at the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) Plenary Hall.

The meeting was attended by most of the LGUs comprising Metro Cebu. It was opened by Ms. Evelyn Nacario-Castro, the Executive Director of the Metro Cebu Development and Coordinating Board – Research, Programs, and Organizational Development (MCDCB-RPOD) Project Management Office (PMO), through presenting updates on Mega Cebu, highlighting milestones and the projects’ progress reports.

A review session was then facilitated wherein each of the focal team identified and assessed their respective projects and initiatives for the annual year 2017 which were aligned with the Mega Cebu Vision.

In the same workshop, the LGUs also determined the gaps and challenges in moving forward with their plans for their respective cities and municipalities. Some participants also shared some concerns such as the challenge of maintaining the Focal Teams for each LGU.

After the presentation of outputs, another workshop was conducted to draw up the Mega Cebu Medium Term Plan for the years 2018 to 2020. This started with the identification of the Mega Cebu Medium Term Priority Goals.

Wherein, the goals identified and prioritized for 2018 to 2020 were waste management, integrated operations center for public safety and traffic, river improvement & revitalization, and clean water and sanitation.

From these, they marked out the targets and key performance indicators and outlined action plans for each goal.

To end the planning workshop, a simple Bugsay signing ceremony was done to signify the commitment of each focal team to the Metro Cebu Medium Term Development Goal.

The Mega Cebu Focal Teams in each LGUs is an important resource in gathering and sustaining the support of the LGUs for the Mega Cebu Vision for they play a major role in creating interventions that result to a positive impact among the Cebuanos and their communities.
